This photo was taken in March 2020. It was the end of our first weekend as the new owners of Apartments 18a & b Studland Dene. We have been looking for a holiday home on the South Coast for almost 3 years, but also conscious we wanted to make the home available as a holiday let. Many apartments in Bournemouth and the surrounding area are not allowed to be short-term let which made the search much harder.
Fast forward to August 2019 and a cheeky visit to visit friends for the long weekend. The weather was perfect, we even managed a swim in the sea on the hottest August bank holiday weekend I can ever remember. We enjoyed it so much we went back the following weekend for the annual Air Show - and that is when we chanced across Studland Dene. The block was built in 2009 on the site of a Hotel. Planning consent included a number of apartments that must be made available for short term let for a minimum of 6 months each year. Perfect for us in fact! A few of the usual UK home buying challenges to overcome (why oh why do we make it so complicated) and the deal is sealed. We became proud new owners on 3rd March 2020.
Studland Dene is located a very short few steps away from Alum Chine Beach. If you’re familiar with the area, our ‘local’ is Vesuvios! The block has a Concierge service, secure underground parking and an on-site Spa. Since the council trimmed the shrubbery on the top of the cliff, you have lovely views of the sea and right down to Bournemouth Pier from the terrace. Both apartments have large terraces with patio furniture and are open plan to the apartments via floor to ceiling glass doors. The apartments can be rented either separately or together - but rest assured if you rent separately the only common space is the shared entrance hall. Both apartments have their own lockable front door!
Since we took ownership we have replaced the TV’s with new smart ones, deep cleaned everything (including the patios) and generally updated some of the equipment. Over time we will continue with tactical improvements - for those of you who have visited our Florida home you’ll know what that means! Next on the agenda is new curtains and a fresh coat of paint - but probably not until after the Summer now. We would like to get on with the serious business of enjoying everything the South Coast has to offer.
